Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Yakov Bar opened to 5,500 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet to 22,500 from Artsiom Lasouski in the big blind. Bar called.

The 8♣7♦4♦ flop was checked through to the A♦ turn, where Lasouski led out with a bet of 22,000. Bar called.

The 6♥ river completed the board, and after some thought, Lasouski jammed with the covering stack. Bar had around 85,000 behind, and he called, but saying "You must be good."

Lasouski tabled A♠K♠ for a pair of aces, and he just pipped Bar's A♥Q♥.

"Nice hand", said Bar to his opponent as he departed the table.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

PokerStars and Club Barrière have announced the cancellation of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris 2025, which was originally scheduled to run from February 12-23 at Le Palais des Congrès.

The cancellation is part of a broader uncertainty surrounding Paris’s gaming landscape. Recent developments indicate that gaming clubs in the city, which have operated under strict regulations since 2019, are at risk of closure by the end of the year.

The announcement comes as a shock, particularly after the news comes exactly a month since the unveiling of the 2025 EPT schedule.

EPT Paris was slated to kick off the tour's new season, returning for its third year after record-breaking attendance in 2024.
